I feel nothing but the pain but I hope for better days
I feel scars of my afflictions to the point of my distain
Confusion came, chaos reigned
Some have gone before me and live to tell the story
But still nobody knows directions to the road of recovery
I know it won’t be easy and even if it kills me
I will spend my life searching for the road to recovery
I am woken by your voice in the silence of the night
And if I stare at my reflection I can see you in my eyes
Dejection came, darkness reigns
Some have gone before me and live to tell the story
But still nobody knows directions to the road of recovery
I know it won’t be easy and even if it kills me
I will spend my life searching for the road to recovery
Many others in the past
Have set off to not come back
I will search these lonely streets
If there earth beneath my feet like a traveller I will roam, roam
I feel nothing but the pain
Some have gone before me and live to tell the story
But still nobody knows directions to the road of recovery
I know it won’t be easy and even if it kills me
I will spend my life searching for the road to recovery
I will spend my life searching for the road to recovery
I will spend my life searching for the road to recovery

Routine wake in the night, feels like I just closed my eyes
Staring out the numerals gaze
Only to wake in the morning to feel I’ve seen better days
I can’t count the times I have woken up from you
But somehow I’ll miss you when you’ve gone
One look back a mosaic of a broken heart
One step forward every ending has a brand new start
You were a burden for so long
But somehow I know I’m going to miss you when you’ve gone
Wake to rise to the day, feels like a downward decline
There’s got to be a better way
Only to make it to evening and know I’ve seen better days
I can’t count the times I have woken up from you
But somehow I’ll miss you when you’ve gone
One look back a mosaic of a broken heart
One step forward every ending has a brand new start
You were a burden for so long
But somehow I know I’m going to miss you when you’ve gone
One step forward every ending has a brand new start
One look back a mosaic of a broken heart
One step forward every ending has a brand new start
Lifting the weight you laid on me
Throwing the chains into the sea
You were a burden for so long
But somehow I know I’m going to miss you when you’ve gone

Over Before It Began

You feel the anxiety attack
You’re in a place you wish you could turn back
Emotions always cloud reality
Fear never made anybody free
Over before it began
Over before it began
I hear an eerie phantom heartbeat
Can we get back to the place we were before?
How can we see with our eyes so sore?
We dodge the pain but invest in more
Can we get back to the place we were before?
How can we hear with the constant noise?
There’s no beauty in a life destroyed
Over before it began
You and I agree to disagree
On human rights and criminology
Emotions always cloud reality
The truth is clear but you refuse to see
Over before it began
Over before it began
Over before it began
Over before it began
I hear an eerie phantom heartbeat
Can we get back to the place we were before?
How can we see with our eyes so sore?
We dodge the pain but invest in more
Can we get back to the place we were before?
How can we hear with the constant noise?
There’s no beauty in a life destroyed
Over before it began
Can we get back to the place we were before?
We dodge the pain but invest in more
Can we get back to the place we were before?
There’s no beauty in a life destroyed
(Can we get back to the place we were before?)
Over before it began
(Can we get back to the place we were before?)
We dodge the pain but invest in more
(Can we get back to the place we were before?)
Can we get back to the place we were before?
There’s no beauty in a life destroyed
Over before it began (Can we get back to the place we were before?)
Over before it began (Can we get back to the place we were before?)
Over before it began (Can we get back to the place we were before?)
Over before it began (Can we get back to the place we were before?)

I told you once but it don’t seem to mean a thing
I told you twice but you’re not listening
This is me and this is how I feel
You choose not to hear and it’s far from ideal
Take, take a look around what you gave has only brought me down
I’ve drawn clarity
You have spelt it out for me
Take, take, take her away, get her out of my face
I said I’d give, give, give her a chance if she would give me space
and I must be crazy, crazy, cause that girl is crazy
And crazy is a nice word for her
If you spoke less we could hear the birds singing in the trees
We’ve all have grief you don’t own the monopoly
Consequence is the price of your personality
You’ll reap loneliness when you sow misery
Take, take a look around what you gave has only brought us down
Selfish, sinister
Carnage is your signature
Take, take, take her away, get her out of my face
I said I’d give, give, give her a chance if she would give me space
and I must be crazy, crazy, cause that girl is crazy
And crazy is a nice word for her
Crazy is a nice word for her
Crazy is a nice word for her
Crazy is a nice word for her
Take, take, a photograph, print it out and add it to your wall of fatality
Borderline’s your personality
Take, take, take her away, get her out of my face
I said I’d give, give, give her a chance if she would give me space
and I must be crazy, crazy, cause that girl is crazy
And crazy is a nice word for her
Crazy is a nice word for her
Crazy is a nice word for her
Crazy is a nice word for her

Crazy (Part 2)

You got people in your life who don’t reply to your emails
Your own flesh and blood holding out with their details
Have you ever stopped to the connect the dots?
When your messages don’t get replies, do you wonder why?
You’re incapable taking hints
Reflecting on actions and making an inference
Peace of mind is something you will never find
There’s always someone who you’ve only just met saying goodbye
The truth is something upstairs got knocked loose
I’d tell you to learn from mistakes but it’s no use
There’s a world of pain that you’ve made and you’ve streamlined
And nothing I say, no matter how fast, will change your mind
I could be wrong but it’s not very likely
Your doctor even tried to break it to you politely
You told me you hate the word
But truth is always going to hurt
I haven’t seen you lately which is good cause you are text-book crazy

Demons

I locked the doors of my own home
I went to bed and my temperature ran cold
The chemicals, like sedatives, so unrelenting
Just like the Moon, a cyclic shift
My heart will race and my mind begins to drift
And I feel that way that I felt sometimes in darker days
When I’m in that place and the darkness falls
Can I count on you when the demons call?
And so begins the game of wait
The light and dark in time will separate
The medicines and miracles were all a waste
When I’m in that place and the darkness falls
Can I count on you when the demons call?
Now is the time, Today is the day
Don’t let it hold you down another hour, Escape
Now is the time, Today is the day
When I’m in that place that the darkness falls
Can I count on you when the demons call?
When I freeze with fear and my hope is dry
Will you come to me?
Will you hear my cry if I call your name?
Will you hear your name when the darkness falls?
I am not alone when the demons call

Pieces Of Peace

Learning to learn from the past every day
Trying to try to be brave and not run away
Finding the strength to stay strong
Fearing the fears that I had will soon reappear
Hoping the hope that I have won’t disappear
I understand I don’t understand
How can a heart that’s so sore now love you more?
Seeing what I see
Through the tears I tear
Looking back making light of the darkness
Hearing what I hear
Feeling what I feel
Looking forward down a course full of coarseness
I have found pieces of peace
Remembering memories
I can’t afford to move forward
Asking a question I can’t understand
How can a heart that’s so sore now love you more?
Grieving the loss that I lost every day
Sick of the sickness of grief take it away
Longing too long for escape
Finding the truth to be true and holding it near
Putting my faith in my faith and not what I fear
I understand I don’t understand
How can a heart that’s so sore now love you more?
Seeing what I see
Through the tears I tear
Looking back making light of the darkness
Hearing what I hear
Feeling what I feel
Looking forward down a course full of coarseness
I have found pieces of peace
Remembering memories
I can’t afford to move forward
Asking a question I can’t understand
How can a heart that’s so sore now love you more?
All can see is I’m lost at sea
Hard times are so hard to believe
I have found pieces of peace
Remembering memories
I can’t afford to move forward
Asking a question I can’t understand
How can a heart that’s so sore now love you more?
How can a heart that’s so sore now love you more?

Looking back I see the burden I can feel the weight
I never really thought about it ‘til it was over and it was too late
Can you hear me speaking, looking towards the stars?
Can you hear me?
Hear my words like a gift and try to keep holding on to them
Hear my words like a gift and try to keep holding on to them
From the moment I was hopeful a mutiny was waged
I chose to never speak about it cause I was broken and you were too late
Do you hear me speaking, looking towards the stars?
Do you hear me?
Hear my words like a gift and try to keep holding on to them
Hear my words like a gift and try to keep holding on to them
Looking back I can see
Looking back I can see
Looking back I can see
Looking back I can see
You can hear me
